Yes, Chrissy. We're square on our taxes now.

I will bring up the financial stuff with her.

We were supposed to have lunch today (remember? to celebrate my raise) but one thing she said last night was that we no longer had the money to do this. I sent her an email a while ago in which I said, "Do you still want to go out to lunch?" I got a one word answer: "No."

I'm doing remarkably well, considering her tirade last night, her silence today, and some significant crap going on with my ex and my DD10.

When it all comes down to it, you can only fully depend upon yourself. Having supportive friends is great, too, but when the rubber meets the road, you're basically on your own.
